Apparently it only needs a couple of parts but it's v old and badly installed so will be cheaper overall to just chuck it in the bin and get a nice new one instead. At least I think that's what he said. It was mostly sucking in air through his teeth while I tried to think of who played in 'the match' last night.

What I took away from it is that there are people out there who have life goals/plans, and that haven’t worked out that it’s all ultimately for nothing. Frederick emails to say he has four children. He is the proud father of a new baby boy, Joshua, and his daughter, Susan, five, has just started school. And he thinks after death, there is nothing. |

Hmm, Ive found new toilets to be very inferior to old toilets, specifically smaller cistern size. It's probably the EUs fault but all new toilets seems to have tiny less efficient cisterns, and smaller in every other way. Maybe to save water for Gretas lost childhood or something. Perhaps its changed since brexit and we can use toilets with British values again.

None of you nerds playing Palworld?
It's wet and windy here.
Also one of my colleagues at work recently left and it's unclear if they will even replace her. I don't think that's a great sign.

Probably shouldn't be shitting in the cistern. Wasn't Auld Reekie one of those cities that maintained healthy open air toilet facilities the longest? So long as you are near the top of the hill it should be fine. |

Wind/bin chat.
Just sat at my desk half an hour ago and saw the neighbours bin rolling down the street. Fully upright and on its wheels, but the wind had caught it and took it about 20 yards down our hill. Went out to fetch it back for them, which I did and put it down the side of their house away from the wind.
When I got back, after already getting inside the porch and walking on the carpet mat we have in there, I realised I'd stood in dog turd.
Moral of the story? Don't help other people and don't stand in dog shit.

From Mr Mike the Plumber,
"A Big Stink is Looming"
It’s May 15 and we see a big problem slowly rolling towards us. In fact, this problem is rolling too slow and may stop along the way. No, we are not talking in code; we are worried about a basic issue of how many litres it takes to flush number ones and number twos.
Before we dive into this problem (sorry, that image in the film “Slum Dog Millionaire” flashed in my mind) we have to let you know that we are certified enviroplumbers, we care about water wastage, so what we are about to write is in no way “green bashing”.
Around the late nineties we were told that no longer would 11 litre flushing cisterns be sold. The 11 litre single flush cistern was the most common cistern around. Very soon after that we were told that the next step down, being the 9 litre cistern was being taken from production too.
Government insisted we start installing dual flush cisterns. The new dual flush cistern used 3 litres for a half flush and 6 litres for a full flush."
Very oracle-esque use of the word Rolling in the first sentence also.
So basically we are being asked to half the size of our output since the 90s. I knew it.

Somebody appropriated my bin once, after some windy weather. I knew it was mine because it had my house number tippexed on it. Duly snatched back.
(This was at my London residence)

Sooo.... just had a mail and a text from my ISP, advising me they have detected that my broadband is 'underperforming' and they want to send an engineer round....
Interesting choice of syntax being used here...
When they are selling me a shiny new FTTP service it's THEIR wonderful broadband...
When it's underperforming, it's suddenly MY broadband.
Might explain some of the shonky gaming performance i've been having though. Bring it on...

The Navy used to have a special Poop deck for shitting on.

I just ignored them as my paranoia was saying they will use this to tie you in too their package for another six years. When I eventually had a problem and they came round they told me I was now faster. I down loaded Killers of the Flower moon in 4 mins last week. |

I worked for 13 hours today, and then log on here to learn that nothing matters, and toilets are worse than they used to be?

The BTP lads are going to get a brutal kicking from Destry on the way home.

Unfortunately I found what appears to be a decent dodgy stream to watch it on.
Shouldn't have bothered,
